The student council at a nearby university reports that only 35% of the student body is registered to vote.

A statistics professor asked her students whether or not they were registered to vote. In a sample of 63 of her students (randomly sampled from her 700 students), 29 said they were registered to vote.

What is the sample proportion? Round to 4 decimal places.

Describe the sampling distribution of the proportion of students who are registered to vote. Include a discussion of shape/center/spread.

Find a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of the professor's students who were registered to vote. (Make sure to check any necessary conditions and to state a conclusion in the context of the problem.)
